I've read very good things about this DVD used as a CD transport, but also some concerns. Maybe someone can comment -- The player downconverts the digital output from 24/96 to 24/48khz. Does this compromise the sound when used as a transport with a 24/96 capable DAC (e.g., Bel Canto DAC1)? I've also read that the polarity of the balanced outputs is "reversed". This may? reduce bass response on some recordings.
